Battery Energy Storage Systems: Enabling Ukraine''s Grid
This study investigates the utilization of energy storage facilities in the Ukrainian power system, focusing on their capabilities in the ancillary services market.
While the individual generation capacity of solar modules and individual turbines is low, if bonded together using Ukraine's extensive distribution grid they become even more resilient. In grids, there is resilience in numbers. A decentralised energy generation system is highly resilient and capable of guaranteeing sustained energy security.
As Ukraine rebuilds its energy infrastructure, embracing decentralisation and microgrids is crucial for enhancing energy security, resilience and independence. However, overcoming legislative and regulatory barriers is essential for unlocking the full potential of these technologies.
Grid monitoring and control: Microgrids are equipped with advanced monitoring and control systems that can detect anomalies and quickly restore power, helping to identify and mitigate the effects of attacks. Several Ukrainian cities are already taking steps to implement decentralized energy solutions:
The report released today builds on this work by specifically outlining seven key actions to create a decentralised and modern power system in Ukraine by 2030. These include improving regulatory frameworks, reforming electricity markets and strengthening coordination at the transmission and distribution level.
